Secret Garden is an award winning Irish-Norwegian duo playing New Instrumental Music, also understood by some as Neo-classical music.

Secret Garden features the Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry and the Norwegian composer/pianist Rolf Løvland. The duo has sold over 3 million albums and won the Eurovision Song Contest for Norway's second time in 1995 with the composition "Nocturne".

Ban nhạc Secret Garden đến từ Na Uy, được thành lập vào năm 1994, gồm hai thành viên chính là Fionnuala Sherry (chơi violon) và Rolf Lovland (Sáng tác, nhà sản xuất và chơi keyboards). Trước đó, Rolf Lovland (nam) đã được biết đến như một nhà viết nhạc xuất sắc nhất của Na Uy, từng đại diện Na Uy dự thi Eurovision 1985 và đoạt giải quán quân; còn Fionnuala Sherry (nữ), người Ireland, đã biết chơi violin từ khi lên tám và đã có thâm niên 10 năm trong dàn nhạc giao hưởng. Với gương mặt khả ái, Fionnuala còn được nhiều lần xuất hiện trên các phim truyền hình của kênh truyền hình quốc gia Ireland. Ngoài ra, cô còn được mời ghi âm nhạc nền cho nhiều phim của Hollywood như The river runs wild, A room with a view và The mask. Chính tại đây cô đã tình cờ gặp được Rolf Lovland. Thế là một nhóm nhạc tài năng ra đời.

Nhắc đến Secret Garden có lẽ không ai không biết đến những bản nhạc dễ đi vào lòng người như Sona, Dawn Of The New Century, Passacaglia, Nocturne, Appassionata, Dream Catcher...và đặc biệt là Song From A Secret Garden...

Âm nhạc của Secret Garden, giống như cỗ xe thần kỳ, đưa con người đến một thế giới, một khu vườn bí ẩn, nơi chúng ta không thể tìm thấy được thứ gì khác ngoài âm nhạc và sự thư thái về tinh thần...Đó là nơi chúng ta có thể nương náu khi cuộc sống trở nên khắc nghiệt, nơi chúng ta có thể trầm ngâm và suy nghĩ. Và chỉ những ai mang cùng nhịp đập tâm hồn với Rolf và Fionnuala mới có thể hiểu hết cảm xúc mà họ ẩn giấu sau những nốt nhạc...

1995 - Secret Garden - Songs From A Secret Garden

"Somewhere within us all there is a secret garden. A garden in which we can seek refuge when times are rough, or retire to in joy or contemplation. For years I have visited my own secret garden in search of organic harmony and melody. The songs on this CD are some of what I've found.

In 1994 I met an artist who through the soulful simplicity of her instrument gave my songs a voice. She is the famed Irish violinist Fionnuala Sherry. Together we have tended the secret garden - and the crop is here for your picking. It is my sincere wish that by uncovering some of our secrets, you will pay a visit to your own garden" - Rolf Lovland.

1997 - Secret Garden - White Stone

"Once upon a time, two children overheard their parents plan to abandon them in a forest, as they could not afford to feed them. But the children cleverly gathered small white stones, and on their journey into the forest, they secretly dropped them onto the ground. At nightfall, left alone, the moon illuminated the white stones, and the reflection became their guiding light. So the fairytale about Hansel and Gretel goes. Maybe each song on this album can be compared to a white stone? Listen - and let them lead you into your own secret garden".

2002 - Secret Garden - Once In Red Moon

"Secret Garden's musical ideas are built on organic melodies telling their own stories, simplicity and straight from the heart performances. With our new album "Once In A Red Moon" we wanted to retain these basic elements, but also explore new areas in our musical universe, and challenge our own creative thoughts. During this process we also discovered that this development was a circle - like an orbit in our creative universe taking us around to the intimacy and emotions of where Secret Garden once originated".

They were always there – awakened by our heartbeats and nourished by our tears – the eternal songs that can lift our spirits to reach for something higher within us".
